And yet roughly half of the Irish population are still denied autonomy over their own bodies. Equality my ass.

You’re seriously defending Ireland’s stance on abortion? That legislation certainly didn’t help Savita Halappanavar or that woman who was raped and forced to carry her rapist’s fetus to viability and forced to have a c section. There is no other reason to deny women’s rights other than religion and you denying the…

and also you voted against women’s rights so....public opinion was definitely against women’s rights.

uhhhh yes if you live here you know the country is gripped by Catholicism and that DEFINITELY informs policy. Most politicians don’t really give a shit but they’re not going to go against the churches or public opinion because their bottom line is to be elected.

...or a woman

People are still way Catholic here. Just bring up abortion rights.

No kudos to any person who belongs to an organisation whose policies leads to the death of women for being women.

I have no respect or admiration for people who belong to an organisation that lobby and preach against women’s rights. Full stop.

Not going to happen as long as the Catholic church has a stranglehold on this country

not interested in anything from your oppressive and damaging religious organisation thanks

and before abortions :(

Evidently I’m defective because I was raised by a single mom :(

yes and look at the comments in CBC - most people seem to be of the school’s same mindset that women are dirty irresponsible sluts for showing their backs. In Canada. I can’t even....... I called the school and let them know what I thought and posted to their FB account as well and messaged a word of support to her…

I wonder how they would feel if all the women showed up in burqas instead

Well I am not sure which imaginary god you follow but the bible is chalk full of bigoted passages encouraging discrimination against women and gay people. And no amount of ‘oooh it’s the context’ or other christian post hoc apologetic nonsense will change that.

And the court documents were filed with her old name not her legal name and she is referred to as ‘he’ throughout. How did this even make it this far.

You got over fourty recommendations on this site for saying god will judge you?

He’s living the good life at a stoner house of people who like to bake dog treats and go for long walks. yes.

No. No it’s not more understandable. Your friend is a horrible selfish person and I shudder to think of what type of a parent she will be if she disrespects life so much.

Holy crap that seems like a pretty big piece of information for them to leave out!
